It was hard enough for Karen Corby to hear that her autistic son would need a heart transplant to survive, but it was even harder to take the news that doctors wouldn’t give him one.
“I was numb at first,” Corby, of Pottsville, Pa., told ABCNews.com, remembering the phone call from Paul’s cardiologist when she found out he wouldn’t be placed on the transplant list. “Before she hung up, she told me to have a nice day.”
The only autistic people who should be denied heart transplants are Aspies.
